I would check the paws. Remove the 8 1/4" screws and remove the class slowly. Make sure none of the paws are broken and make sure the ratchet springs are not broken or dislocated.

Here to help.

Carbon is actually used to remove some chlorine/chloramines from the water. Which is a good thing. Though this would be a farily expensive edition, next carbon swap I would add some KDF-55 to the carbon tanks. Its an absolutely beautiful media. More recently I have been running into...

I would generally recommend calling a plumber. If you need guidance on installing it, I am sure we can help. Usually you just follow direction of flow.

When the magnesium anode rods break down they give off the sulfide smell. An aluminum anode rod will not give off the same smell. All the anode rod does is protect the water heater. Its 20 dollars at home depot. This is a common issue that I run into with customers. They replace the water...

If the water tastes salty you will need to increase the time for the rapid rinse. Try an 8 minute rapid rinse. If that does not rid you of the salty taste, try a resin cleaner like softener mate. The resin may be fouled. Note that every cubic foot of resin is usually 30,000 grains which would...

WellOff, I will tell you that a Katalox Light system will be your best friend in this situation. A cartridge will not last you or will be fully adequate for treatment. Build a KM system IAW the materials below. 1 10x54 media tank with riser tube. 1 DF control valve set to a 6.2 gpm backwash...

Yea, that is where the debate is. Let's break it up a bit. A DF system has four cycles; Backwash, Brine pull, Rapid rinse, and Brine fill. Upflow systems are supposed to be as such: Brine pull, Rapid rinse, and Brine fill. When the salt ion is adsorbed onto the resin, the resin releases the...

Bro. Please don't do that. The compositions of resins differ. One can cancel the other out. Unless you are a chemist and know what your doing, don't do it. I had a customer who thought he knew the right choice because Google told him so. Needless to say, his family has more skin and digestive...

Sounds like the salt bridged. Clean out the tank of all salt and that slime if it is in there. If not check the float. You have to understand that these whirlpool systems are not built to last. Some people get lucky. After you clean the salt out and remove the bridged salt (white goop), pull the...

If you are referring to the backwash noise you are hearing, I might recommend changing the flow control or adding one (if it is open at full boar). That should help quiet it down. I am not to big of a fan on upflow brining systems. I like using down flow, given the fact that the water has to...
